I found this posted on another website and my jaw nearly dropped:
Dear readers,
As a self-proclaimed animal lover, I understand the importance of treating our furry friends with love and respect. However, I also understand the frustration that can come with owning a barking dog. It can be a real headache to deal with constant barking, especially when it disrupts your peace and quiet.
Now, I'm not saying that I've ever had to deal with a barking dog myself - I would never have such an unruly pet. But for those of you who do, I have some tips that may help you silence your noisy neighbor.
Firstly, consider using a shock collar. These devices can deliver a harmless but unpleasant jolt to your dog when they bark, effectively teaching them that barking is bad. Sure, it may seem cruel to some, but sometimes tough love is necessary.
Another option is to invest in a bark control device. These can emit a high-pitched sound that only dogs can hear, which is supposed to discourage them from barking. It may not work for all dogs, but it's worth a try.
If all else fails, you can always resort to extreme measures like debarking surgery. This involves surgically removing or damaging the vocal cords so that your dog can no longer bark. While it may seem like a drastic solution, it's better than dealing with the incessant noise.
In conclusion, barking dogs can be a real pain in the neck, but there are plenty of solutions out there. Just remember to prioritize your own peace and quiet over your dog's wellbeing - after all, who needs a happy pet when you can have a silent one?
Sincerely, A not-so-hypocritical animal lover.
